Yes.

if you are having sex that could result in pregnancy while on hormones, then please talk to your doctor or nurse at the National Gender Service, or your GP, about contraceptive options. 

If you are sexually active and concerned about your sexual health then it is important to get a check-up.

A list of STI services can be found below (note that during covid, some of these services may not be operating):

If you have a cervix and are between the ages of 25 and 65,  then you should be attending for regular smear tests. This is the same for people on hormones and for those not on hormones. 

PrEP is a medication taken by HIV-negative people to reduce the chance of getting HIV from having sex without a condom and from sharing needles or equipment to inject or use drugs. PrEP is available free of charge to certain people in Ireland. 

For more information on accessing PrEP in Ireland.

Please go to: www.hivireland.ie/hiv/prevention/prep/ 

At the moment, we do not provide sexual health screening. This is something that we are looking into and hope to provide in the future. 

In Ireland, free STI home test kits are available in most counties. You can order a free STI kit to be delivered to your home and more information on this service can be found on www.sh24.ie
